Finally got some time to bench the new Broadwell-E 6950X CPU on EVGA's new(and old) X99 mobos. All three boards (X99 Classy, FTW-K, and Micro-2 all behave alike and require around the same tuning on similar bios's. I'll post an OC tuning guide for the EVGA X99 bios and broadwell-E tuning a bit later. Can do higher uncore speeds without OC socket this generation. Also memory performance is quite good on EVGA mobos now, but ultimately depends on CPU/IMC.

I went back to hand pouring for these sessions, can't beat the challenge of a system like this. I'll update the thread as I bench different apps. Today was Firestrike Extreme QUAD SLI, it's enough for one day of running quad solo haha

I've never measured the current there with these cpus maxed out Allen, certain Tin has though. Ftw-k, micro 2 both using single 8 pin while classy uses dual connectors and I can say top end perf is very similar across all three mobos.
